John if you like to refute its perfectly fine but keep in mind that you have an army of angry people that want to warn others of their experience that I will bring this thread attention to.
I don't care about places where I am not selling but because I am not only a vendor but also member here and because you got into my business I have no other option then to say something about it because its food on my table.

I have so far kept out of your business and will continue to do so as long as you don't mention me as I really don't want my name mixed up with yours.

I asked him how much for a set of raw keyhole plugs and he said $5 shipped. Might get those from him. All I got to say is that I'm glad I'm doing my own garnishes and eyelids.

tCtCtC - Try to post pics of your garnish. What was wrong with it? Paint, clear, sanding marks, or everything?

Christ so he's doing business/taking orders on at least 8 forums? No F'n wonder people go 6 months or more without getting what they paid for. And how is he doing that much work and still doesn't have the funds to cover his a$$ to get our stuff out?
